Genesis 30:1-3
1Now when Rachel saw that 1she had not borne Jacob any children, 2she became jealous of her sister; and she said to Jacob, “3Give me children, or else I am going to die.”
2Then Jacob’s anger burned against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in the place of God, who has 4withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”
3Then she said, “5Here is my female slave Bilhah: have relations with her that she may 6give birth 7on my knees, so that 89by her I too may obtain a child.”
